May is brutal — 42-45°C regularly, sometimes higher. Ajmer empties of casual visitors. The Dargah still operates, devotees still come, but the city feels like it's holding its breath, waiting for rain that won't arrive for another month.

The May story

May tests your commitment. The Dargah still draws the faithful — Sufi devotion doesn't check the weather forecast. If your purpose is spiritual, the heat becomes part of the pilgrimage. The shrine provides free cold water (sabeel) to visitors. Evening hours, from 6-10pm, are the only comfortable window. Pushkar is a ghost town for tourists but locals still worship at Brahma Temple daily. Hotel prices hit their annual floor. The only practical reason for a May visit is if Urs falls this month — in which case, the heat becomes irrelevant next to half a million devotees, spectacular qawwali marathons, and the langar feeding thousands nightly.

April	2/5	Hot 25-38°C. Dargah courtyard marble burns feet by noon. Limited shade on Taragarh trek. Carry 3L water minimum.
Mayviewing	1/5	Extreme 30-43°C. Outdoor exploration dangerous midday. Pilgrims thin out. Only Dargah interior offers shade relief.
June	1/5	Punishing 32-45°C before monsoon arrives. Dry heat, dust storms possible. Ana Sagar Lake dries up. Not worth visiting.

August	2/5	Continued monsoon, 27-34°C. Intermittent heavy downpours. Ana Sagar fills up again. Muddy trails to Taragarh Fort.
September	3/5	Rain easing, 25-34°C. Sticky humidity lingers. Landscape turns green. Crowds still low — decent window if you handle muggy weather.
October	5/5	Excellent 20-32°C. Post-monsoon clarity, Ana Sagar Lake full and scenic. Perfect for Pushkar Camel Fair combo (late Oct/Nov).
November	5/5	Ideal 12-28°C. Pushkar Fair crowds spill into Ajmer. Book hotels early. Dry, clear, perfect for all sightseeing.
December	5/5	Cool 8-22°C. Peak winter — crisp mornings at Ana Sagar Lake. Low crowds, great value. Evenings chilly but pleasant.
